“I am an easy going, calm, empathic and non-judgmental person. After being a stay at home mum for many years I went back to work as a care assistant which gave me an insight into mental health and inspired me to want to help people to make their life easier. Whatever difference I can make, no matter how large or small, gives me great pleasure. ”

“Hi my name is Zeena. And I’ve worked it care for about 23 years now. I’ve also had other jobs. But my passion is to be able to help someone else in anyway shape or form. I’m a happy easy going person and I enjoy meeting new people.
I enjoy spending time with family and friends in my spare time I love to watch my soaps in the evenings. I enjoy going for walks, cleaning, cooking and partying. ”

I have experience supporting clients in many activities such as meetings, appointments, housing, community inclusion… I also am a PAL mentor within Real Lives so I support new workers get started on their journey as a PAL where needed.”

“I am new to working within the mental health sector however I have a lot of life experience to share. I see myself as a fruit loop in a bowl full of cheerio’s, and any one who meets me soon realises how accurate this is. I am quite loud and in your face my hair changes colour like the weather. Although I have only been with the Real-Lives family for a very short time I know in my heart of hearts this is where I am meant to be and what I am meant to be doing.”
